Arthropods

Their are many different types of arthropods. For example the grasshopper, an arachnid, or a crayfish and many more. Each have their own unique adaptations like venom or a hard chitin exoskeleton. Due to the fact that their many different types of arthropods their different habitats are all around the world.

Predators/Prey/Life Cycle

Different Arthropods have different predators. For example, A lizard will prey on a spider while a snake will eat a crayfish. The same goes for prey, a spider may prey on flies and the crayfish will prey on plants. The life cycle also depends on the arthropod.

Spider

The spider is a type of arthropod and is called an arachnid.

Food

Food/prey varies greatly depending on the type of arthropod. This is a picture of fish eggs which is what some crayfish eat.

Lifecycle

This is the life cycle of a lobster. Lobsters are arthropods however their life cycle is different from an arachnids life cycle.
